This would have been free to anyone with a very large garden.

I shall drop in as I drive right past it when I go visit my mother.

What could go wrong?

Thought you were buying a horse? You’ll soon look back to the days where 100k was worth mentioning :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Bloke I worked for in Jersey got his licence a few years ago.
He now pops over to Devon, checks his properties, and flies home.
Nice work if you can get it

Sam is honestly terrified that I might buy some old scrapper 747 or similar and park it in the paddock.

She is right to be afraid…

And the point of that is, what, exactly ?

Fit one to the sump of an RX8 and you have a chance of getting to the shops and back again.

Right. First up for Mr Sod’s delectation & consideration is this Tupolev 134. Only 15000 Euros. Might fit in the back of a V70.
